I just bought a DR-HD100 for $995 off of EBAY. It was a "B-Stock" mint condition HDD that was used to demo at NAB 2006 and then was repackaged by JVC. I thought it was a good deal...I should have it by Friday.

Anyway...I have the Anton Bauer Battery Setup...What cable do I need to have the battery power the Firestore drive?

Webb how exactly does that work? Please be more specific. I have DR-HD100 and Anton Bauer batteries. How can I power both the camera and the DTE recorder with the same battery? Is this PowerTap cable the solution?How is it connected? I'd appreciate your help. Thank you.

Jaadgy, the cable runs from the DR-HD100 to to little connector on top of the A/B mount. There is a small 2-pin slot/connector called a power-tap on all A/B mounts that can be used to power anything needing 12v. This same Powertape can be used to power on-camera lighting, or an on-camera external HD monitor. Very handy.

Tom, I've never used IDX so I don't know what kind of connector it has. If IDX uses the same shape/style plug as A/B then it would be compatable. Can someone who uses IDX confirm?
